It is not possible to answer this question numerically because the velocity of the wave also needs to be known. The three following equations are equivalent. velocity = wavelength x frequency wavelength = velocity / frequency frequency = velocity / wavelength The correct unit for frequency is Hz (Hertz) although this is the same as the old "cycles per second". Wavelength is measured in metres and velocity in metres/second.

How can you find the wave speed from the wavelength and frequency?

Im fairly sure that its frequency multiplied by wavelength. Frequency is essentially waves per second, since hertz is cycles per second, so its distance (metres) times frequency (cycles per second), which gives speed (metres per second).


What is the difference between freqeuency and wavelength?

Frequency is how many cycles per second there are, while wavelength is the actual length of the wave from peak to peak or trough to trough. Frequency is related to wavelength, since the shorter the wavelength to more cycles per second (waves passing per second). Frequency is v/L where L is the wavelength and v is the phase velocity.


What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?

Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of 4 Hz?

Frequency = Velocity / wavelength. So Velocity = (frequency)*(wavelength) Hz is a unit meaning cycles per second or just sec-1(4 sec-1 )*(3 m) = 12 meters per second


If the wavelength of light increases the frequency?

As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.


What is the frequency of a 55 Hz wave?

The frequency 55 Hz has a wavelength of about 6.23meters.


A unit in frequency measured in cycles per second?

That's the unit of frequency ... "cycles per second", or simply "cycles".It has now been officially renamed the "Hertz".


What is the number of wave or cycles per second called?

The unit of cycles per second is called Hertz

What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1920 million cycles per second?

1.920 MHz ==> 156.25 meters


What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1760 million cycles per second?

To determine the wavelength of the radio waves, we can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Converting the frequency to hertz gives us 1.76 x 10^9 Hz. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a wavelength of approximately 0.17 meters or 17 centimeters.


How do you convert heartz to meter?

The frequency of a radio wave in Hertz (cycles per second) multiplied by the wavelength of the radio signal (in meters) is always equal to the speed of light, which is equal to The speed of light has the symbol "c". So Frequency/c = wavelength, and wavelength/c = frequency. == ==
